      They’re going to try and blame it on Russian Irano-Chinese MS-13 terrorists though. The fake evidence will be ridiculously amateurish and every mainstream media outlet will eat it up uncritically.

        for decades superhero and scifi flicks have been covering flying vehicles and iron man suits etc. in brilliant lights to indicate how powerful and futuristic they are

        If you see what looks like an airliner flashing it’s lights, that means the drone is about to hit your city with Independence Day (1996) demolition rays

      Terminal velocity fall from a bullet will hurt but probably not injured anyone so that’s nice. So, if they shoot at a low angle and there is still a biotic trajectory that could be different

    This is what happens when your government and media covers the asses of themselves and the asses of the owner class until institutional legitimacy is completely obliterated.

    You have a guy in the government the very government that odds are knows exactly what these are but legitimacy has been so ravaged by everything from the Iraq wars to covid to epstein to the fake outrage at the dead CEO that he thinks giving a missile to Officer Trucknuts is a solution because he represents some kind of authority that is atomized out and isn’t part of the larger untrustworthy authority.

    Like they are grasping at straws of legitimacy here. Appealing to God knows what shred of structure left.

      Possibly? Probably? Best I could find was a couple articles from 2011 mentioning a .50 rifle, the mayor being coy about further capabilities, and one mentioning a rumour that the secret service has/had a stinger missile in NYC
